Pole.......pulling...

Ahh, c'mon, I know what you were all thinking.....pole dancing.....none of that here.....just pulling poles heh heh.
I have this pole out by my driveway and this is where I do most of my speed skating technicals....you should hear all the wise cracks from the neighbours and friends passing by in their cars....."Dee, a little more to the left"...."Hey, you actually moved it"....."Dee, why is my cable and phone not working?"......."Dee, can you put it back now?".....we all get a good laugh meanwhile, I am the one sweating my hump off but at least I haven't gotten any splinters yet......I really do think that I have moved it though.
Every time I do those exercises, it is amazing how I feel it in the rump and outer hips which tells me that those muscles are working and that I'm doing them right.....Wednesdays and Saturdays.....
Speaking of Saturday, hill day but this time with my new steel sled that my buddy and neighbour Marc built for me earlier this year....the same guy that worked on my skeleton sled...thanks Marc. Along with doing more technicals on the street pulling this thing, and practicing starts with it, I took it to the hills. After running the 4 hills of 30, 40, 50, and 60 degrees, I strapped on the harness, hooked up to the sled, and pulled an extra 70lbs up the 30 degree hill 3 times......man, if there was ever a time I felt like giving up.....but I didn't cause that's what it's all about.....pushing it always, making your body go further, mind over matter....and then when it's done.....you're happy you got it done....even though there is a little puke dribble on the side of your mouth heh heh.
Well, now my body rests on the Glorious Sunday....
Peace.
